Burlesque (2010)
Brief review: Steve Antin's directional debut, "Burlesque", is about small-town girl, who moves to L. A. in order to fulfill her dream of becoming a singer and dancer. She quickly finds her place in a popular neo-burlesque club run by a former dancer, who changes her life. "Burlesque" feels contrived and rushed from the very beginning, and certainly does not have the most meaningful plot ever, but surprisingly, it ends up an incredibly refreshing musical, that delivers everything it promises in terms of fun and entertainment. The spectacular dance routines are unbelievably sexy and passionately-choreographed by Denise Faye, and the songs are wittily-written and stunningly-performed by Christina Aguilera and Cher, who both have an incredible, out-of-this-world vocal abilities. Add to this the beautiful sets, the lush staging, the lavish costumes, and the absolutely flawless lighting, and you get "Burlesque"! Acting-wise, it also succeeds. Christina Aguilera not only sings great, but she also delivers a surprisingly good performance as the talented and enthusiastic Ali. Cher owns the screen in every scene she appears, and Stanley Tucci gives a typically charismatic performance as the aging gay friend of Tess.
Overall summary: Forget about the superficial plot and the weak script, because "Burlesque" is all about the glitz, the glam, the dancing and the singing. And it's tons of fun!
